Well, feel free to be renom it. It was just in between two articles that were blowing it away.--<<>> 00:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Another PLS

The Main Page suggests that you're running another PLS. If we're still doing amazon gift certificates, I'd be willing to toss $10 in to the cause. Also, if you need judges, I'd like to throw myself in as a candidate if you need any more. --Sirgwax (talk) 05:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer gwax. We actually aren't hurting for money, as Wikia is taking care of that aspect of it. I have the judges lined up, too, but... well... according to some previous runners of the show, people have been known to pull out without warning at the last minute. I'll DEFINATELY keep you in mind in case that happens. Thanks a bundle for the generous offers of help, but I've got it under control for now. Maybe. I hope. /me crosses fingers.--<<>> 08:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, if you do need me, drop me a note on my talk page; I try to check there at least once every day or two. Also, if you do anymore, let me know. --Sirgwax (talk) 08:37, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

The amazing new and exciting VFH

My comment on Forum:8-ish_reflections_needed_for_Worst_100_Reflections_on_2006 was because of that link I provided...which lead me to realize that on the new faster VFH half of my own humble features wouldn't pass, as they were a vote for every once in awhile, just often enough to not get culled as stagnated and enough to eventually make feature (they were during the summer slow period, so I may be reading more into this than there is). I can only speak from my own experience, but I found that to be disquieting; however, if I'm the only person in this metaphorical boat, then it's not worth kvetching over. On the plus side, it lead me to go back and reread them and they hold up fairly well. But then I'm biased.--SirModusoperandiBoinc! 23:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Heh, I've found that all of my articles are works of art as well. ;) Since traffic ebbs and flows, the only way I know of to judge the articles is how they're doing vs articles from the same time, or judging, as objectively as possible "how popular is the article?" (VFH is, after all, just one big popularity contest for articles). If a whole bunch of articles are voted on at once and one is doing worse compared to the others than any other article on the page, it's safe to assume that article is a weaker article (at least, I hope it is, because that's what I've been doing). I'm more than willing to listen to other methods of judging (though I strive to keep it as structured as possible in the dynamic world of VFH).--<<>> 23:51, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Huh, sorry about that. I didn't realize there were two separate articles. —rc(t) 16:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the Shower

I humbly accept the Urine Ninjastar, Brad. I'll continue to do what I can for Pee but I can't in good conscience sign up on the Urinizor Squad after all. Recently developing family pressures makes it likely I'll have to neglect Uncyc for days or weeks at a time over the next several months. But it is a worthy effort, and you personally have shouldered the burden like a veritable Atlas of Pee. Kudos to you, Sir. ----OEJ 17:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Arsemas Card

Boothman was throwing away last year's Arsemas cards, and realised that only faggots celebrate Arsemas.This user thinks you are mediocrity personified, and URGES you to have a Furry Arsemas...TO-DAY!!!!

Feature for 11th January

No-one else was around and the article was getting not so fresh, so I put another one up. I put Wicker Man up because it was supposed to be the one for the 10th ... this is probably wrong and evil, but makes the universe seem just that little bit more heartless and random. I hope I didn't fuck anything up - David Gerard 01:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

PLS

Hmm... I didn't realize that was a template (since it's only used on one page, that seems a bit silly to me). Do you think we need to change it?--<<>> 00:53, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Nah, doesn't really matter :) Although when it's on a template, there's no need to go back through the main page's history to find the code from the last one.

I only pointed it out because it's already linked on the front page, just commented out, and might have been easier for you to edit the already existing one. Didn't occur to me at the time that seeing as you'd already done it, this was a bit pointless! •Spang•☃•talk•01:02, 14 Jan 2007

Well, I've read the rules and seems that I've missed something between the jokes. Maybe they could be expressed better, but no problemo. Another subject, I've noticed you are using the Golden Shower Award. Should we make it official, pasting it in the main space? -- herrdoktorneedsAbolt[scream!] 00:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the mixup. I'd appreciate help in making the rules more clear. Also, I'd love the Golden Shower to be in official space! :)--<<>> 00:42, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, chap, it's me again. So, after almost one month of silly celebration I'll finally put my lazy ass to work again and start a new article. It's a howto and guess I'll start it today or tomorrow. Will it be elligible for the PLS? -- herrdoktorneedsAbolt[scream!] 20:57, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Assuming you enter it in a category you don't already have an eligible article, and that you started it after the competition began, then yes.--<<>> 15:52, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, the Image judging is done, and we have a winner already. The rest of ya'll need to get off your assets. =P R 13:51, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words on the New England Patriots article (and now I'm a Colts fan). You weren't kidding about the NFL page; I'll work on it on and off. I did revise the Steelers' entry, though I readily admit it may have some of my fan's fingerprints over it.--Procopius 14:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Heh, awesome. I'm kind of wanting to make the whole page in somewhat of the format of the NFC North articles, where it mocks the great history/players/coaches of each team and mentions the current players near the end (this will be easier to maintain year-to-year).--<<>> 14:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I should mention, however, that anything you do with the page will be better than it is now, so if you just rewrite it in general, I'll love you, whether or not you take it in the direction I was thinking.--<<>> 14:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for peeing

Thanks for taking the time to Pee Review my UnNews article. That was precisely the kind of feedback I was looking for with regards to my typical UnNews articles. Thanks for the effort. --Composure1 02:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Rookie Mistake

You can move Honey to your namespace by clicking the "move" at the top of the page. I've checked the history, and you should be good to move it yourself. Also, due to the conversation we had, I changed the PLS page so everyone can edit it (since you were having trouble with that page before). Hope that helps.--<<>> 04:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Since you were still having trouble, I moved it myself. You should be able to add it to the PLS page now.--<<>> 04:26, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Testing

Hmm... I think I see a problem with my sig already...--<<>> 21:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

And the lesson we learned here today, for anyone who is interested, is that when a template is included on an indent (e.g. :Blah blah {{User:Bradaphraser/sig}}), any line breaks within the template are forced onto new lines themselves. •Spang•☃•talk•01:39, 20 Jan 2007

+S

Braydie thanks you for supporting him to become admin.I would have done this sooner, but admins are supposed to be lazy.There is no personalised message either.

UotM

Don't you think this years' Superbowl reskin should have it's own page, rather than overwriting the old one? ---Rev. Isra(talk) 04:19, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I overwrote the old one just to make it easier to move for the day in question. I plan on reverting it back to the old one and using the one at User:Bradaphraser/SupperBowl for records.--<<>> 04:22, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Pee Review

I'm doing my good deed for the day and replacing your title with what you should have had there in the first place. Luckily, this article doesn't exist, so it's an easy review.--<<>> 03:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Humour:

1

This article really could benefit from more content.

Concept:

1

This article might have been a good idea, but it's too short to tell.

Prose and formatting:

0

This article has no pictures, and really needs one.

Images:

1

Um, switch this review with the one from before it. The formatting could have been much worse, but it's too short to tell.

Miscellaneous:

1

I didn't like this article too much, but maybe that's just me. If you add some more content, you'll probably do better.

Final Score:

4

Put more than an hour's worth of work into this article, and you'll get better results. Also, you should have more words in this article, as no article was ever kept at Uncyclopedia with under four words.

2) If you think it's less funny than Poop Cuisine, fine. I have no problem with your opinion, and you've been doing this Uncyc thing a lot longer than I. Saying it READS like that article...I don't see it. That's a food article, this one is a band/music article.

3) Lists. Sir Todd warned me about that. I'll clean that up pronto...though it's part of the long-lived, washed-up band joke, again IMHO.

4) Images - thank you! I like them also, though I don't see a single one on Poop Cuisine that matches any on Poop. See #2.

5) Fair enough, and thank you for your opinion. I wasn't looking to add to the scat lore, I was looking to create a long-lived band and run jokes around them.

Check the date of the pee review. My review came before the article you created existed. (Jan 6)--<<>> 02:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Crazy! How does that happen? The Pee Review just showed up today... Ok, my bad. I hope that when & if the new Poop article gets Pee reviewed, it does better than that! I won't change a thing unless I feel like it. :-) Smrt-guy 02:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, it turns out that articles are submitted to pee review by the authors that wrote them, and they aren't moved to the page's talkpage until one month after the review (so give another user a chance to review them, if they wish). Notably, anyone that thinks they understand what it takes to get featured at Uncyclopedia can review an article, and we're always looking for more reviewers. So feel free to post anything at pee review you want, and review someone else's article, too, while you're at it. ;)--<<>> 02:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I did as you suggested, and got a great Pee Review! Thanks for the suggestion. Now, I'm sticking my head firmly into the giant smashing machine by nominating Poop for VFH. When you have some time, I'd like to get your vote (preferrably for, but a constructive against is ok as well) for it. Thanks! Smrt-guy 19:53, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

poo lit noms

I'm just a bit curious as to why you disqualified my n00b nomination. It said, "Was in original namespace," what does that mean? --AmericanBastard 22:13, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

The article was on Uncyclopedia before the competition began, so it was disqualified, as that was against the rules. The rules were posted in terms that most people agreed were very clear, and were only removed Yesterday, which is why I find it odd that you're asking this now, of all times. The rules can still be found in the history.--<<>> 22:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Shite, my dumb ass thought it was for users and articles created after Nov 2006. Sorry for bothering you. --AmericanBastard 08:19, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

you have been awarded, The Uncyc Nail Bat

for smacking a typical n00b who doesn't understand rules. –AmericanBastard

Heh, no worries. You had the users part right, at least. :)--<<>> 11:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

you didn't typo the references or text under pictures. I think I had an idea for what to do, although it might piss people off - jack mort |cunt| talk - 15:28, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I wasn't sure I wanted to change that part. Does it look too out of place having them not typoed?--<<>> 20:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

a little out of place yeah, not horribly. i couold do it myslef but i thought i'd let you, since you did the rest of the work - jack mort |cunt| talk - 11:48, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Heh, ok, I'll work on the picture section. The reference section, I may just change the title though, as big words lose legibility if you misspell them more easily than familiar words.--<<>> 12:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations!

You are the recipient of the Mhaille Award For Excellence for the month of February 2007.

I know its not "up there" with the great awards of Uncyclopedia, but its a way for me to show my own support and appreciation for what people are doing out there to make this place better. Your continued level of commitment in that regard is, I feel, to be commended, and that you do it with an even hand and good heart makes you all the more worthy. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)

Thanks, Mhaille. I'd give you a Mhaille Award for Excellence, too, except that apparently I'm not allowed to give those out. But, of course, you already won UotY, so you don't need any more damn awards, do you? ;) (Seriously, though, I do appreciate the kind words.)--<<>> 22:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I suck

I am the suckiest suck ever and lost connectivity just in time not to judge the PLS.

I go now to fall on my sword.

AIEEE! IT IS OFFLINE!

And in fact I suck so much that I forgot to log in to say how much I suck. Suck! - David Gerard 11:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Heh, no worries. I had a backup plan, so everything went as planned. I had expected, with how busy several of the people I'd asked to judge were, that someone wouldn't be able to judge, so no harm done. I'm glad to see you're back online. Out of curiosity, what internet provider do you have? (I'll add them to my "bad" list. >))--<<>> 12:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, dogs ate his homework. A wild pack of them. Big ones. With many teeth. It was terrible. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)

Zen, who are really good. But all DSL provisioning is done by BT, who suckethest mightily - David Gerard 18:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Wot.

I don't come here anymore, Brad. Continue on your quest to spill funny all over the world, 'cause you're good at that and thatnks for remembering me. --Boy Toybitch at me 20:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

No prob (I assume this is because of the Christmas Card from three months ago). I do get nostalgic from time to time, you know? :)--<<>> 20:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Darwin Rule

More just curiosity. What is the meaning of the "Levels" you put at the summary of de-VFDed articles? Ex.: "Darwin Rule, Level 9". -- herrdoktorneedsAbolt[scream!] 19:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Levels explain how far something is is from the nearest score above or below. If there is a +10 above and a +7 below, a +5 article would be removed at level 2, for example, instead of level 5. I try to remove the highest level first. I pull the newest article with the same highest Darwin level (since it is assumed more votes will come the longer something is on the page, something losing early is worse than losing late, so to speak. Anywhere, there you go.--<<>> 19:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

This is *your* fault

It's a little long for one sitting. I don't know how you'll fix this, but I do know the longer it is, the more it has to be absolutely hilarious/brilliant to keep your audience's attention.

Piglet should stutter more. Maybe have him stutter every time he says a curse word. While that lowers the "edginess" of the character in this context, that's sorta the idea of putting him in as verbal.

I personally think "bear shit" would be a funnier thing to call pooh than "nigger bear," but that's up to you.

It's not a bad start, but it definitely needs some more work still.--<<>> 13:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Welcome to the Chaingang from El Zoof! Now go cut your head off - safely!

Your comment on the obscenity topic

You presented a well-reasoned and very civilized response to my silly cavilling about the definition of obscenity, and I wanted to compliment you on it. Then I got distracted, the forum topic moved on, and so forth. But as no good deed should go unpunished I'll present you with a silly template:
